I must say, thanks a LOT =)

I've also tried those files and it seems it's a good combo: All apps do exist and I even got updates I didn't get using the current market :D so an update with that market is mandatory now ;)

I'm working on 0.4.1 as I write... sorry for the delays, I've just gotten a new job and man, the trip going back home sure wears you off :(... I've been really tired, and busy too (not to mention kinda internet-blocked at work) so it's gonna be some slow weeks for FroyoDragon I assume :/

However, I -need- to release a new version, with the fixed kernel and all. Now, I'm testing various stuff with the build.prop and that market version, as I want it working but with non-160 density as it's too big for my taste, but using 135 seems to break the market... however, I found a hack somewhere on the net which I need to test and if it works, I'll include it in the next update ^_^ (well, I need to find a way to fix that anyways).

Now, the main reason of this post though - first, to thank rquattro for his contribution which has helped to light a spark on the market issue ^^, and second, to ask for some help from you guys, needed to release the new version:

I like Dolphin. The browser. However, I've found it a bit slow at times with some websites I normally use, so I'm finding a faster replacement - with the same kind of features if possible. I've found the following ones:

https://market.android.com/details?id=org.espier.browser

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.boatgo.browser&feature=search_result

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.skyfire.browser&feature=search_result

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ninesky.browser&feature=search_result

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dolphin.browser.android.elex&feature=search_result

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.boatbrowser.free&feature=search_result

I've found them very similar in their performance & rendering compared to Dolphin, however, I need to see which one gets the best approval from the users of this ROM to replace Dolphin (if it's possible) with a faster one.

I've also found a good, awesome multitasking app which isn't a taskbar, but it acts like one so it's great when you're multitasking on the phone. I'm gonna add it to the new version, since it's fast and hella useful =).

Well, any thoughts and help is greatly appreciated as you can notice ^_^. Expect a new version coming soon! (maybe between 1st or 2nd week of Feb, depending on the outcome of this testing you guys do whenever possible :) ).

Mobile data !

I've just flashed this rom, it worked smoothly,

But i can't get mobile data work :(

i'm on radio 6.35.10.18

Any ideas please :o
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] c0mrade2:
maybe you have to set the apns manually

I can tell you that Skyfire it's quite slow on our device, usefull only to replace flash player (sometimes...).

I will test the other browsers, if it can helps someway (but IMHO dolphine it's pretty fast) :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tass0s:
what about maxthon and miren browser?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ReDhAuNt:
Hello there!

I have the correct radio and I need to change my Recovery. Can you provide the link to a properly funcional Recovery? I tried to flash with one but came out some Writting errors, I guess it most be something with my file.

Thank you for your dedication.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darkguy2008:
Hey :) glad everything is working fine!. About the mobile data... hmm that's a first, I've never experienced that nor seen somebody who has. Sometimes you have to set the APNs, yes, as c0mrade2 instructed you to, too.

Oh, I didn't know that feature about Skyfire... hmm, that might be interesting. Sure, some testing will be greatly appreciated =)... and yes, Dolphin is pretty fast, but its last update was about a month ago, so I'm looking for a more recent (but also fast - or faster) browser, just for kicks.

I've tried Maxthon before but it seemed to have bugs with some sites where Dolphin didn't, and it's a bit intrusive in the OS IMHO, or well, at least that's how it was in another ROM I tried I can't recall the name of. About Miren, I think I tried it once, but it was slow? now I don't remember much, and now that you mention it, I might give it a shot too =).

Hey :). It depends on what phone do you have, 32B or 32A? for 32A, in the first post the big red warnings have a link to the latest functional recovery. It isn't very hard to find. You might want to try to redownload the file or find it by filename on google, as it's posted in other hosting sites where you can get it from, maybe with better results?.

For 32B though, it's okay to use Amon_RA (1.7 though, not 1.6), but I don't have a link for it. If anybody does, it would be greatly appreciated =).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] c0mrade2:
I've tested all the browsers you posted and IMHO the best, as fast as Dolphin, is Boat Mini ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ReDhAuNt:
Thks for the reply. Actually I'm having this issue and I have no clue how to fix it. I also tried with fastboot but nothing happens. :confused:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darkguy2008:
Holy cow, that's the first time I see something like that. Do you have S-OFF? if you do, have you tried installing the recovery through fastboot? (there's a method somewhere on the net)... it doesn't seem to be a problem with the recovery image file but with the phone, but that's far from my knowledge. I'd suggest you to start a new thread asking what to do in this case and post the link here so I can follow it closely and provide some ideas if I see it possible :). Good luck!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ReDhAuNt:
Just to let you guys know that my problem was a simple mess up with my htc drivers on my laptop. After fixing that up I finally could flash the recovery and install this amazing ROM.

Keep up the good work. Cheers.

Edit: After a fresh install my market "thinks" I already have installed all the Apps that I had on the previous ROM. I can't manage to install them again. Am I missing something? How can I fix this?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] badikhi:
Marekt

Do you see the apps installed on the phone's market or the PC browser version?

On the browser you can reinstall and there is no problem.

on the phone is a bug I never heard of...

good luck
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] b33:
i don't know what's going on, i have 3g data but i connect sucessfully to my wifi network and i can't open a webpage nor login into my google account

edit: 0.39 vanilla works fine in that aspect
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darkguy2008:
Yay! new release ^_^

After a long month, hehe. Well, it's here. It's late and I need to sleep to wake up in 4 hours, but anyways :D.

For the problem with apps appearing in the market to be able to be installed when coming from a previous ROM, this is the previous ROM's issue. Some ROMs have the ability to sync downloaded apps to Google (just like contacts, email & etc). I too have some apps synced there (for no reason, 'cause I don't use that backup feature) but I never had that happen on my phone. Did you do a full wipe?

The market's been fixed now (finally). I didn't want to make a release 'til I had fixed the market, which I did ;). I've added (though I didn't want to... but it seems to be the only option) a patched 3.4 market which will spoof a 160 density instead of the real 135 the ROM uses. No more missing apps anymore ^_^!

Also, I wanted to sync my emails & stuff with my new job's Exchange server and it seems the current Email app couldn't, so, according to Laurie (mentioned in the changelog, go read it) using the Emulator's Email.apk seems to work, so I did and now it's syncing. To me, it's an improvement to have that over Cyanogenmod's mod, so I've added it.

I also went back to the previous Carz kernel, to fix the signal & wifi & etc. issues.

I've also improved the boot sequences and tweaked the scrolling speed. The phone feels even faster now :D.

You already know the drill: Download, backup, full wipe & flash. You guys won't be dissapointed this time. This update is greatly worth it ^_^!

Edit: Uploaded! (2:02 AM GMT-4,5)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ReDhAuNt:
Tried the new version but doesn't work, the installation crashes (tried twice and Activity DragonHelper stops responding). The 1.4 was running flawless so I guess I'll move back.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tass0s:
Well, first of all, Skyrim's dragons are ****-tier.

Second, off to FroDra again!!! :D

(On the installation helper, it indicates "FroyoDragon 0.4", just saying..)

also for force closes the first time i pressed wait, and the second time that i pressed force close(no wait option) it rebooted for the theme to be aplied. After that everything worked like a charm.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darkguy2008:
Oh damn, guess I need to look at the installation script some more and work around the phone's slowness on the first boot. It works if you wait like a minute or two after it has booted. It has worked for me so it might work for you too - however, thanks for the heads up, I'll look for a quick fix as soon as I can!

Haha, I agree about the dragons lol xD!. Oh, and yeah, I noticed that last night - my bad D: I'll fix it as soon as I can, too!, thanks for pointing it up ^^. Hm :/ well it's good to know it worked, but I still need to fix the install script, so I might put a 5.1 soon :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nooty90:
guys, do you what is the difference between radio 6.35.16.19 and 6.35.10.18? is this affect in signal or something else?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kanttii:
I don't really know, but what I have experienced is that 6.35.16.19 works better for me - the signal is a bit better and battery lasts a bit longer, the phone is also more stable.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tass0s:
Everything fine and smooth, but i noticed some major battery drain. I'll wait some days to know for sure.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] lizaSB:
Upgraded from .39 (wifi issues from .4 made the phone unusable for me ... ie. studying in the library's sub-basement), and things are working great so far! I've had minimal battery drain (50% in 24 hours of moderate to light use) and the phone does indeed feel faster!

I've noticed that there is a decent amount of drain if I run facebook from mobile data so I've pretty much cut that habit (seems to be fine on wi-fi though).

I've been lurking at xda for about 2.5 years now and of all the roms this phone has gotten this is easily the best (speed, battery, signal, reliability). It always seems as if you only get 3/4 (or 2/4...), but this rom is definitely 4/4! Thank you for breathing life into our ageing phone!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Rabbit911:
Can you upload clockworkmod somewhere else, please? :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] c0mrade2:
Here it is cwm-carz-v4.0.1.4-recovery
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eddy1:
I have read much about this ROM. I hope it will be a great ROM for my phone as well. Please guide me if or how I can install this ROM. I have following device

HTC Magic 32B

Radio: 22.28.25

SPL: 1.33.0013

ROM: Bananabread v2.6 based on 2.3.7 GB

Kernel: 2.6.35.13-farmatito-pershoot-ds
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ricc@rd:
camera problem

Could you please reupload in a working host the kernel carz-2.6.34.4-6355-07052011-signed.zip?

The kernel that is default in FroyoDragon 0.5, has problems with camera, and I tried a lot of applications for taking photos/videos, without success.

So I guess it's a kernel problem (I tried also with two full wipes)...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tass0s:
well yes, there is a big battery drain. I have set brightness too far low but still, the two usual suspects that are first in the battery usage screen is Brightness and Android system.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darkguy2008:
Yeah, same here, it seems better, but I haven't done any comparison yet.

Yeah, 0.4 had some WiFi issues because of the new kernel, but I've reverted it back to the old one in 0.5 so you shouldn't have problems now.

Yeah huh, FB is slow, sometimes I prefer to open it through Dolphin instead XD... the new update sucks x_X.

^_^ I'm really glad you like the ROM and that it is useful to you =) comments like that keep me motivated to keep this ROM going, thanks! :D

Well I don't know the exact steps for a 32B (only 32A in my country) but some people have reported to be able to install it correctly. Check Page 26, last post 'til page 27 or 28. IIRC, all you need to do is to flash it normally, using Amon_RA 1.7 (or whatever the latest recovery there is for 32B) and then flash a suitable kernel. If you don't, it won't boot. Else, everything works fine, except for the camera I think, but I don't have any compatible camera lib/app yet for 32B. Your device may vary though :D... if you try it, please share your experience and steps, thanks! :)

Actually, 0.5 has the same kernel as 0.3.x, 0.2.x, etc. The only one with a new kernel I think it was 0.4.1 with Carz's CM7 kernel which had problems. I just did a comparison today of the current 0.5 files and the 0.3 files and WinMerge says the files are identical, so it's very unlikely it's a kernel issue. At least, from 0.5's.

What device do you have? if it's 32B, I don't think it's gonna work... if it's 32A, I use the same kernel everyday without issues, everything works including camera so there must be something wrong. If you can provide more details (I don't see anything about your device in your sig) I might be able to help you :).

Anyway, here it is, in case you want to give it a try =P -> http://www.mediafire.com/?k8mpf9n40p8r727

Hey, thanks for the feedback ^_^.

Well, I've experienced some big battery drains but it seems to be rare. Sometimes it happens sometimes it doesn't :/. I've compared files between 0.3.4 and 0.5 and the only thing that comes to mind are the files that I changed related to the display driver and such.

I've uploaded 0.3.4 files here: http://www.mediafire.com/?i0dsb6bv4z5u6lc . Extract them in your PC, push them through adb keeping the folder structure and then chmod 777 them just in case, then reboot. If the battery drain lowers, then that was it.

Phew!

Sorry for being missing! somehow Gmail added all my emails into the "Skip inbox" rule and all my emails from two days ago decided to go limbo. Yay!!!...... not -.-".

So that's why I've been missing, lol.

I'm working on a fixed 0.5.1 version as I type this (when I should be sleeping instead >_>")... so that version is close to release. In fact, I need it fixed right now or else I won't have a working phone for tomorrow D:

So eh, don't despair ^_^. The dragon's still alive and kickin' :D.

Also, THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR SUPPORT! ^_____^! :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ricc@rd:
I have a 32A htc magic with radio 6.35.16.19.

I have installed the rom after a full wipe, and I have also formatted the microsd card before flashing. I don't understand the cause of the problem!!!

With gingerbread roms (I tried GBRider_Cronos), camera works, while with froyo roms (I tried padronfroyo with ezterry kernel, and your rom with carz kernel), it doesn't work.

I tried with many different camera applications, but it doesn't still work...

I don't think it's a hardware problem, because with the official firmware camera worked. What can I do?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cvetko_a:
Did you install cwm-carz-v4.0.1.4-recovery
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ricc@rd:
yes I installed it before flashing the rom
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darkguy2008:
Well this is a first. Another froyo ROM should work if this one doesn't, but if those neither do, then I'd think there is a problem with the camera driver? maybe it is a different chip/device than some others?

If you can get a logcat taken from the first boot, then open the camera app and wait until it force-closes or gets stuck in a black screen or something, then upload it, I might find something that could help to debug the cause.

I'd suggest changing radios, maybe 6.35.10.19 instead or something, it could help.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ricc@rd:
I will try changing radio this week-end, but now I tried to do a logcat, and these are the lines shown when I open camera.

"toryRecord{4503e998 com.android.camera/.Camera}}

D/dalvikvm( 947): Cronos GC_EXPLICIT freed 5277 objects / 273280 bytes in 187ms

W/ActivityManager( 947): Launch timeout has expired, giving up wake lock!

W/ActivityManager( 947): Activity idle timeout for HistoryRecord{4503e998 com.a

ndroid.camera/.Camera}"

then it shows a black screen (or sometimes it even reboots)

About the full logcat, I'm not able to save it all from startup, because windows cmd deletes automatically the old lines...

I can just say you that it says Cronos GC a lot of times, and I don't know what it means...

I hope to solve this problem, because except for this, your rom is perfect!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darkguy2008:
It's okay, I use Windows too. When you do the logcat, do it this way:

1. Turn the phone off

2. Open a cmd window

3. type "cd Desktop" then press ENTER

4. type "adb logcat > full.txt"

5. Connect the phone through USB cable

6. Turn the phone on

7. Wait 'til the phone starts up, open the camera app, wait a while and then disconnect the phone.

That way you'll have a full logcat file named full.txt in your desktop. Try uploading it to mediafire, pastebin.com or something or attach it here so I can see what's wrong :)

I also hope to help you to fix the issue hehe, thanks! :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ricc@rd:
Ok these are the two parts of the full logcat (i cannot upload a single file because of the dimension).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ricc@rd:
I tried everything you suggested me, but nothing.

So I decided to switch rom and even with gbrider cronos it no more worked.

Finally I reverted back to the stock rom, taken from the htc official ruu, and it doesn't work even there!

So I guess it's an hardware problem: I'll bring the phone to htc assistance...

thanks a lot for the support :)

edit: miracolously, after a day of flashing radios, roms and ruu, I reverted back to your rom through a nandroid restore after reflashing 6.35 radio, and it works!! I don't know what was the reason of not working, but after 3 flashes of the official ruu it restarted working!!! WOW it's really a miracle!! Now your rom is perfect!!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darkguy2008:
HAH! Holy cow, that's awesome XD!... I figured it was something with the radio or something, this phone is a bit weird because you can flash corrupt images and it'll still work (yay though). Good to know it was sorted out ^_^! enjoy the ROM :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darkguy2008:
0.6 update!

Woo-hoo!

Okay guys ^_^ I've finished working on the 0.6 update :D.

I've focused this time on some customization and preconfiguring some stuff I always used to do everytime I flashed a new version.

I've also added a battery meter I found called CB Battery Bar, which is pretty awesome IMHO so that's why I've added it. It also helps to de-alarm yourself when you see the battery icon in OMGREDREDRED and you think it's gonna die and it still has like 2 hours left of use xD.

I've found that Dolphin Browser Mini hasn't gotten updated in months, so I've replaced it with Dolphin Browser HD. Surprisingly, it's as fast as the Mini version, and it has Flash support (or so it says). I haven't tested it yet - those brave enough, share your findings ^^. So, it stays from now on.

About the rest... well, the usual. Apps updated and whatnot.

In this new version I've worked on the installer (post-boot process). It seems I was doing something really wrong using Receivers instead of just setting the app as the main home activity (which I found by looking at Go Launcher EX's manifest file). That, and some flags added here and there fixed the problem... but it was still being interrupted by SuperUser's dialogs :(...

Until I found this! -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1463829 . It claimed to do superuser without the SuperUser.apk! too good to believe - so I tried it and it worked!. I'm using it as the "su" process for the install steps. Once it's done, it reverts back to the normal, SuperUser method we all know. It's great! I'm happy ^_^.

I've also added sounds from the iPhone, because it's cooler and quieter. Really, the sounds are soft and high enough to listen while I'm outside or somewhere nearby so they're staying from now on, too. This is only for the FroyoDragon Experience though :). Stock froyo doesn't get this, just to keep it stock ;).

LINK IS ON THE FIRST POST

^_^

Oh, by the way, I've also fixed the ClockWorkMod Recovery link, thanks to ponteny for pointing it out =)

Enjoy 0.6! ^_^!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Nicholas86:
Hi,

congratulations for this fantastic rom!

I would install FroyoDragon 0.6, but I have 2 questions:

_ airplane mode drain battery?

_ is battery drain good?

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darkguy2008:
Hey =) thanks! :D

I have 2 answers:

- Airplane mode doesn't seem to drain battery BUT sometimes the phone can't wake up from it. It's really random, sometimes it happens sometimes it doesn't. It's a kernel bug so it's present in all ROMs which use Carz's kernel (except his CM7 ROM I think).

- Battery drain? well, it depends on the use you give to it. I've had the phone last about a day and a half with some moderate use... SMS, calls, some browsing, etc. I can't measure it very well these days because I'm using it as a WiFi tethering device for my work computer so it's always plugged in through USB and in consequence, charging :/. The reports I've got from others have been positive so I guess there's little to no drain =), well, compared to the rest of ROMs out there :P

It's all about flashing it and see if you like it. If you do, enjoy it! =)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Nicholas86:
The airplain mode problem is very annoying...but, of course, I will flash your rom!!! Thank you so much darkguy2008!!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] singa89:
finally decided to flash the old 0.37 to 0.6!!

best rom by far. good battery life and fast as usual
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] trabuko:
I've flashed it today, later i say how it works.

I have clockwork recovery but another version (4.0.2 i think) and it has flashed perfectly.:)

When it's going to be a android 2.3.7 release?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darkguy2008:
Okay! have fun :) I have a 0.7 ready to upload later today though :P it only contains some fixes though, no big changes.

Well, this ROM is and will be Froyo always until I get bored of it. However, I'm planning to work on 2.3 once I feel FroyoDragon is stable enough to leave it as-is for some months while I work on 2.3. I've been working on re-organizing my install methods so they're portable enough to be ported to 2.3 easily.

Don't worry though, I'll still work on FroyoDragon, updating it with the new stuff I can add to the 2.3 version =). But yes, don't despair, I want 2.3 too, so it'll come very soon :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darkguy2008:
In other news...

0.7 is now LIVE!

Enjoy!. Download & flash as usual. If everything's OK I'll declare this stable enough so I can work on other stuff such as GingerDragon 2.3 (yes I already have a name for it, lol :P). However, don't hold yer horses, I'll still be working on this ;)

On a side-note, I'm getting a NST (Nook Simple Touch) soon so who knows, I might do a version for it someday :D
